In the morning the local primary school comes to take class photos
Then Akiko comes to fetch us for Soba at an inn…
For pudding we go to another inn, which was a second choice (specialty was there of Carri Risu) …
When then go to help another friend. She came to live here in the mountains with her 3 sons, the husband is still living & working in Tokyo. We are here to help her cutting tree/bush branches in small pieces to make sent bags that will be sold on a market in Tokyo… difficult to believe it would even pay for the trip !!!
Evening back at Akiko’s place… for more Sansai! We will get used to them before we leave !
(*) at the time it was surprising!!, now with Corona lockdown, video calls while eating is just another “normal” day !! 😉
